ID Photo Tips

NO Glasses

Some countries do not allow eyeglasses, like French Visa and Mexican Passport photos. UK(Britain) "recommends" not wearing glasses. As a general rule, we strongly recommend NOT to wear glasses. Governments want to collect your Biometric data based on your natural facial information. Including tinted prescription glasses, may be worn in photos as long as the eyes are clearly visible and there is no glare in the glasses

 

 

Why can't I smile in my passport photo?

The International Civil Aviation Organization recommends that passport photos be taken with a neutral expression for use with facial recognition systems - advanced technology that helps prevent fraud by electronically verifying identity based on each person's unique facial features.

 

 

Please Avoid WHITE Clothes For Passport or Visa Photos

These photos will be rejected because " There is not sufficient contrast against background" for Passport or Visa applications.Remember that they will collect your biometric data by scanning your photos - if the machine cannot get enough information of your head and shoulders against background, your Passport or Visa applications will be rejected.
